Roy,

You're getting into trouble for the reason I mentioned. Konstantin's method works because he's transferring the data into JS space and not manipulating it in situ. Note that he's adding a character after the last the character, not replacing the last character.

So, yes, \r and \n are JS for return and new line.

If you want to change the last character of myLine to a return you can write:

myLine.characters[-1].contents = "\r"

Again, "\r" works because it is being translated in JS space. If you were doing it using InDesign's Find/Change, then you'd use ^p.

Dave
